Shoring up the White Trash Base

Somewhere up in heaven, Jerry Springer must be looking down smiling on all the drama that unfolds around John McCain's VP pick Sarah Palin and her white trash of a family. Oh wait, he's not dead? Okay, well, I'm sure he's getting a good chuckle out of this thinking how great it would have been to have unfolded on his show. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!

Let's recap:
1. John McCain does not have clue (because he wants to pick Lieberman), surrounds himself with crafty weasels, such as Karl Rove, who excel at exploiting the American people, and they allow him to pick Sarah Palin, a white trashy MILF governor of a state with a population of less than 400,000 where only about 15% of it's populace votes in the first place. She is green, but not the kind that is environmentally conscious.
2. Republican and conservative water carriers jump to her defense. Talk about spraying deoderant over a pile of shit? Karl Rove, who a month earlier critized the potential pick of Tim Kaine saying he was not qualified because he was only Governor of Virginia for 3 years and Mayor of Richmond (a small town of 300,000 roughly the same poplation of Alaska) was defending her. He even admitted she was not picked for her qualifications rather to shore up the religious right-wing base.
3. Sarah Palin is under federal investigation for tampering with the firing of her ex-brother-in-law police officer.
4. She was almost recalled as mayor of her puny little town of Wasilla.
5. She was a member of a right-wing state's rights party.
6. We find out her 17 year old daughter is pregnant, a fact she and the campaign tried to keep a secret. Thus, proving not only are Republicans hypocrites, but that abstinence only sex education does not work.
7. We find out the almost dead-beat dad (now forced into the campaign/probably forced now to marry this chick) is a handsome, yet self-described redneck (according to his MySpace page) and very foul mouthed (that doesn't bother me so much).
8. Sarah Palin is tied to indicted Senator Ted Stevens.
9. Sarah Palin is tied to convicted felon Jack Abramoff.
10. What's next? Maybe we'll find out how she stationed the national guard at the Berring Sea in case of a Russian invasion.

Is this the America we want. Is this the person that is going to fix our economy? Someone that can't keep her own house in order? It is very scary, and now the white trash voter that doesn't care about the economy because he/she's already poor and likes it that way seems to be rallying behind her.
